  • Great song. I wish it was the 80s again. Great times for me and for so many others.

  • One of the best "forgotten" songs of the decade.

  • My favorite.... gay music.

  • I like how this song is all chorus.

  • there no other song that captures the early 80s more then this song. especially the guitar intro

  • I rock this song on vinyl.

  • Are people really arguing over the abilities of Paul Reynolds and the Edge? When VH1 did their Bands Reunited episode for A Flock of Seagulls, Reynolds could barely play "I Ran" when they performed; last I checked, Edge still has it.

  • For a long time.. I was seriously obsessed with this.

  • Skateland was awesome.

  • Actually you can sing Fake Plastic Trees of Radiohead with the background music of this song. Try it.

  • Those progressions are very used by groups like Radiohead, Coldplay, U2, etc.

    The 80's New Wave bands basically defined the alternative rock music of these days.

  • @armeliagomez yeah...it's called post-punk

  • RED GUITAR PLAYER IS DAMN HOT....LOL

  • @sandran7121 agree!! paul reynolds was 17 years old in this video..the only true master of delay..fuck edge

  • @bowiemars sorry, listen to "Boy" (1980) or watch live U2 from 1981...the edge was using delay then. paul reynolds sounds good, but no match for the edge.

  • Comment removed

  • @bowiemars gee, who's gone farther with their guitar playing career, paul reynolds or the edge?

    even will sergeant has gone farther than paul reynolds.

  • @auzoso i dont mind dude..just paul reynolds is much better guitarrist than edge

    

  • So simple SO complex. .Note the ethereal sky shots in the beginning. . back in a brief time, the new wave awakened the dreamers, falcons, seagulls, their hair, their sound, their style. . these men wanted to be birds. . .men who looked to the sky. . men searching for their ancestry. . ancient ancestry. . man has not evolved. . .he has devolved. ..watch today's garbage music. . not even music. . .let the SkyWalkers come again. . .the spaceage awakened this. . .why did it go away. . .

  • Love this song<3 It's so nice....And he has some amazing hair ;D

  • very Warhol , those glasses ; easy to be happy to this tune !

  • I find the nerd type guys are Hot...

  • @sandran7121 They'll take you further.

  • The guy with red guitar is cute

  • Sym-Bionic Titans brought me here. Amazing show that deserved more than it got.

  • I <3 the 80s

  • Owl hair cut = Awesome

  • Symbionic Titan brought me here, i didn't know this song until i check it out to see of its real.

  • Symbionic Titan brought me here

  • @melediv me too!!!!

  • it a shame this band diden't stick around i really like this song and i ran

  • Like most youngsters my age, I was aware of I Ran, and I thought it was a pretty cool track, ya know, classic. In Junior High I bought an old turntable-endtable for $10 at a garage sale, and this album was among a few albums there. Naturally, I was like, hell yeah son, I'm gonna play that song out so hard! I believe that this was the track right after I Ran on the album, and I couldn't even fathom what I was hearing, and how important this song still is to me, to this day. Flockin' right.

  • Oh angels and airwaves is not a new thing :D

  • I've watched the VH1 special where the lead singer says he's gonna "Puke" if someone requests he sings I Ran but, I love this song better than that one. I hope he doesn't puke when someone requests that he sings "Space Age Love Song" because I prefer it over "I Ran".

  • ชอบมากมาย <3

  • symbionic titan brought me here

  • @dethkeyblade me too!!!

  • I was so lucky to have met them in 1983 a night I will never forget and met Mike Score dozen of times a awesome nice guy and met the guys when they did a reunion Damn I love this band.

  • My mom loves 80s music. I remember being four years old and sitting in her lap as we drove down a country road really late at night. This song was on the radio, the windows were down, it was warm and I was steering. One of the best memories of my life.

  • @onlyrevolutions2010 That's so cool! Something weird happened just now when I listened to this song. A time portal transported me back to 1982, I was a kid again, I could really feel, and "for a little while, I was falling in love."

  • @onlyrevolutions2010 It's wonderful to remember things that may be so insignificant to others but to you, that moment makes you feel amazing. thanks for making me feel happy:)

  • @onlyrevolutions2010 That's awesome! This song is like a dream in the form of a song..or something lol. One of my favorite songs ever. Glad you got to experience it like that! Very cool!

  • @Pettiterosemarie

    Miticos grupazo y temazo !!

  • Never saw her again. I did see her on Facebook. She looks the same to me 29 years later.

  • OMG! This is soooo 80's! The hair, makeup and fashion not to mention that the music is just the best! I can picture my friends and I dancing to this at the school dance doing the famous 80's style of dancing, lol, and feeling free and alive. I had so much fun times then, crazy times and the best of memories.There is nothing like the 80's and those of us who lived it know what I am saying here. :-) The 80's was a special time in history. I just love the 80's sooo much! & I miss the 80's too! :-(

  • @thecarebearhideaway - That's probably one of the best comments I've ever seen posted on this site.

    I'm old enough to remember the 80's but too young to really have "lived" them ;-((

  • @CTasara Thanks so much for such a nice comment to me. :-) I wouldnt feel so bad about saying you havent " lived " the 80's because in my opinion, if you remember them, you have lived them. You have. :-)

  • @thecarebearhideaway - Well, if you say so ;-D - sounds like you lived them better than me though ;-D

  • @CTasara Maybe! :-D hahaha! I did have some fun times! :-P But I dont think anyone from that time can measure who had the most fun, we all had fun! It was great! I am sure you did too! :-D

  • @thecarebearhideaway Ok...I rest my case ;-D

  • @CTasara hahaha You are cool! :-D

  • love the hair style from back then very creative instead of people with bald hair looks

  • 1982 brought me here when I first heard this song and loved it. I was a sophomore in high school. I can't think of a better time to grow up. If I were a sophomore now, shit man I'd be hatin life with the choices of music that's out now. I'd be in a serious hurt locker. I just can't see myself going to see High School Musical or watching Twilight. Just so all the youngens know, the early 80's was the best time ever of all time!

  • @bigdsears i'm a sophomore now and you know exactly how i feel. Everyone at my school listens to Lil' Wayne and Justin bieber s**t. I'm also getting tired of people saying swag all the time, it's so annoying. I wish I was born in the 60s or early 70s because todays so called "music" is starting to get worse every damn year. I think i was born in the wrong decade.

  • @username7046 Yeah, swag, what an over used term and I hear it too, my friend here at work is kinda young and he says it all the time and all the girls laugh at him like he's super funny. He carrys this backpack too with him all the time and I don't even think anything is in it. His hair is all spiked up in the front, I guess that's the edgy look these days. He's got an asian tatoo too, I don't even think he knows what it means. And let me tell you about his cell phone oh boy talk about overuse

  • this song is featured on the stateboarding documentary stoked: the rise and fall of marc gator rogowski, as well as grand theft auto miami psp version amazing song

  • if you like this Video...you will luv my site...... Goozled.com

  • I enjoy the hairdos, actually...

  • Great Band! The lead singer can go fuck himself. :)

  • @metemi Now, why would you say that lead singer can go fuck himself? Lol.

  • Wonderful song! And yes, we Americans have always lagged behind Europe and the UK musically, and now that both Japan and South Korea have defeated us in the pop culture wars, insult has been added to injury.

  • This music can be found in GTA Vice City Stories on radio Wave 103...

  • cool

  • europop was the thing back in the 80s. american pop was just soooo behind europop in everything when i was a kid. these songs brings so much memories it makes me both happy and sad.

  • I like this song SO much better than "I Ran".

  • Love the sound of the guitar in this one

    

  • Yeah this makes me cry every time I hear it because it makes me think of falling in love with my ex...I miss you so much wolfy. Too bad a song can't make it all better.

  • Great video from the past, I put it on my Website Goozled.com and ive had great feedback... also there's alot more at my site....Enjoy!!

  • GTA me trajo aqui !!! lol

  • If you don't think this song is the shit, you're probably a fucking tool.

  • @jacknuts22

    If you think this song is the shit then you put the w into anchorman...

  • I saw these Guys with "The Fixx" at the Bandshell in Dallas in the early 80's, I was 23!

  • Comment removed

  • Fuck you Cartoon Network for ditching the best cartoon ever created..

    this song is so very fitting to the whole series of symbionic titan.

  • fantastic song...

  • Whenever i hear this song i will think of a giant robot fighting a giant space monster in the background of a girl walking home.

  • I can't believe symbionic titan got cancelled!!

  • @diegorivera1201 That's because CN is run by dumb asses. Word is they didn't make enuf money of merchandising. But according to what I read they never made any merchandise. So basically because a toy they never made never sold the show was canceled.

  • @Anonymous01959 So, I'm new to the whole youtube and social media universe. Is there anything I can do to rally people to talk to CN and bring back Symbionic Titan. I mean you hear about that kind of stuff all time with other shows that suck ass. how do I start a movement that saves a really good show?

  • @diegorivera1107 Sorry i don't know that. And I doubt it would do any good. I doubt the CN execs care about viewer opinions and what I read said the guy who created the show has moved on to another network and working on a new project.

  • 1982. it was my first time in Europe. I met a cute blonde Australian and spent the best three weeks of my traveling with her everywhere. When I came home, all I could do was look at the pictures we took together and play this song in in the background repeatedly. Bittersweet memories. Thank you for the post.

  • @sulladrum Awesome!What a great story,and a great time to be growing up in the 80's..very romantic story,and such a dreamy song:)

  • @sulladrum ....did you ever see her again?

  • @sulladrum Its great how some songs take you back to a certain time or remind you of a certain person, thats why music is so great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @Kenebutch No kidding I remember this song in the dead cold of winter,and then things would seem okay again,and I think of the sexy dj on the radio that used to introduce this song....WOW where did the time go?

  • i LOVE this song!  Haunting. GREAT early 80's.

  • The guitarist is Pauline from the League of Gentlemen

  • you bought junk bonds. i bought stock in hairspray. cha ching.

  • What i could not understand from human being is they continually whine about almost everything. Is it such a big deal for somebody to say that a decade for ex: The 80's was great? Is it crime to say that. WTF? What is this? A Communist world?

  • I wish I would have atleast been born in the 80's

  • I can't see a music video of any song that came out in the 80s without seeing a fuckton of annoying comments about how unique the 80s were.

  • 1982 was an amazing year for music... this song... Duran Duran's Rio... The Safety Dance... among many others!

  • @DamianEatsNails and don't forget about " Down Under" by Men At Work =D

  • Lunar dust present ..... I rock to the eighties on the satellites of distant planets to catch the original waves of this dope classic!

  • Que buenasa esta banda A FLOCK OF SEGULLS en especial esta cancion me agrada el tono de guitarra,yo tengo 20 años pero me agrada mucho las bandas de los 80

  • What the fuck is on his head?! 0.0

  • @toahordikanuva is his haircut!!! is awesome!!!!

  • los amo AFOS!!!!!!

  • very cool.

  • This song was on skateland movie at the end cool song and they come from Liverpool

  • I AM SO FUCKING HIGH.

  • God DAMN! We rocked once didn't we?  :)

  • 0:14 I need to make this haircut, it looks sooo coool :)))

  • @Pijus1991 Do it!!!

    

  • @asterius909 Welll first of all I need to grow up my hair cause now it's only about 5 cm long and I need at least 20cm :( that will take pretty long time..

  • the 80s have been back since the mid 00s

  • spiffy hair do!

    he looks like the blue falcon.

  • i love this song

  • love this song!!

    

  • perhaps the one song that completely encapsulates the eighties sound, the new wave sound, just so right on the mark, from the opening to the end it does not falter. This band in my humble opinion is one of the overlooked bands from that time due to I ran being considered a one hit wonder, take a deeper look and they have a lot more to offer

  • It's just the best 29 years on & sounds amazing. Fantastic band. Fist pump to the max.

  • The Flock hit #30 in Billboard, 2-12-83. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a great week!

  • I remember in 1988, kickin it with my roomies in our appartment, stereo blasting Tesla and MTV on the tube on mute. This is one of my top fav euro hits from the 80s. Wow, to pull off a 3-day 80s-pallooza would be something else. I wouldn't care if they lip-synced the whole thing. Have the top 40-50 bands from the 80s. Maybe talk some of the ladies into sporting the big hair, mini-skirt and pumps, for old time sake. Us guys might even pull off the Don Johnson Cavariccis and Bugle Boy ensemble.

  • @ArcherBowman lol oh man Cavariccis lol

  • they deserved at least 7 hits

  • 25 people were never in love

  • take away the crazy hair gimmick and this was a really solid, kick ass synth band. Awesome 80s!

  • Come back!

  • fuckin badass !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this was one of the most MTV created bands known to man. But as time goes on, this song ROCKS

  • I was 18 in 1982. We had some great music. Nite Tracks before MTV came to our area. It was some music to party to on the weekend nights. Turn on the TV and have some vids of great music playing in the background at parties. Girls wore the greatest tight jeans and had the greatest hair. Weed was dirt cheap, and there was no meth epidemic, STDs were rare. The world didn't hate us, terrorists were just something in a cheap movie. We were all so young then, in more ways than one.

  • Hands down one of the greatest from the 80's.

  • just love this two

  • This one and "I Ran" are two of my favorites by the "Great 1980's New Wave Group!"

  • That style of hair is brilliant

  • Comment removed

  • From the days when VH-1 and MTV ACTUALLY PLAYED music videos....What the hell?

  • its like a queer wolverine!

  • Love this song. Anyone else think that Paul Reynolds sounds like The Edge of U2?

  • @huntercentury More like The Edge sounds like Paul Reynolds.

  • Man, the haircut is EPIC.... and the song is good, too...

  • How many people here were reminded of this song's existence by Sym-Bionic Titan?

  • <3 pretty much all i can say
